Joris Smits Dr.Ing. Marcel Bilow Bridge design embodies both the technical side of building engineering as well as the grand scale of an urban design while still provides the vast exploration possibilities of a design project. Graduation project Title of the graduation project Goal Location: The posed problem, research questions and Rotterdam on the rise Rotterdam, The Netherlands The city of Rotterdam faces a mobility problem. The Nieuwe Maas is acting as a barrier between the north and the south of the city. With little possibilities to cross the river, he city center acts as the main node through which all traffic flows lead but it is clogging with cars, cyclists and pedestrians. The problem is not only about capacity, but the lack of a high-quality alternative route across the Nieuwe Maas which can lower the strain on the city center and can provide a durable solution in terms of sustainable transport. Can the mobility problems in the city of Rotterdam be solved with the design of a third bridge across the Nieuwe Maas, with due consideration of the

3 design assignment in which these result. preconditions and requirements on site? The assignment will respect the wishes of the Municipality of Rotterdam and focus on the design of a bridge in the Western part of Rotterdam, connecting Delfshaven with Waalhaven on both an urban and technical scale. The focus of the bridge shall be on slow traffic such as pedestrians and cyclists and sustainable means of (public) transport. Not only will the bridge by an actual but also a visual connection between the north and south of Rotterdam, whilst complementing the relationship with the Nieuwe Maas. Process Method description The methodology for the research consists of two major parts, a literature study and a design study. The literature study subdivides in three components, the first one being an analysis of the city of Rotterdam on an urban scale which will provide design guidelines for the bridge. The second component is an analysis of the location for the bridge between Delfshaven and Waalhaven which will provide boundaries for the design. The last component of the literature study is the research into bridging types, movable bridge types and bridge landings. This will provide structural guidelines and boundaries for the design. The second part of the research is the design study where to goal is to find the most optimal solution for the design and structure of the bridge given the guidelines and boundaries found in the literature study.

The city of Rotterdam would like to give more breathing space to the city center, which now houses the only viable option to cross the Nieuwe Maas. These connections across the Nieuwe Maas are not only needed to facilitate economic development but also to expand cycle- and public transport routes in order to strengthen the existing residential areas.
